hi everybody, just needed to ask this: I have an older pc with a newer agp graphics card. It plays games relatively fast. I got a new computer for christmas and it has a pci-e card slot with an onboard(256 mb nvidia geforce 6100) that dosent run anywhere near 256mb. Is there ANYTHING THAT I CAN USE (That is cheap of course ;) ) to convert the agp into pci-e, this can include any adapters, or changes.

Jump to PostForget ebay, go to either Newegg or Tiger Direct.
Jump to Postits slow as your "256mb" onboard card is actually 8mb and steals the rest from system RAM.

Not that I know of, the equivalent in hardware like vid-cards are cheaper for PCI-e than for AGP. So you can probably sell you ragp card and have enough to buy th esame card for pci-e brand new. Go to newegg .com and comapre, you'll see what I mean.
